TO ALL WHOM IT MAILr CONCERN:

Be it known that I, W. F. VEBER, of Perrysbnrg, in the county of Wood, and State of 0hio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Fence Gates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part, of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of the gate when shut.

Figure 2 is a top view of the gate when open.

Figure 3 is a detached section.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the di'erent views presented.

This gate consists of .several bars A, g. 1, which are nailed or otherwise secured to the cleats or crossbars B, one on each side, as seen in iig. 2. It will be seen that the second bar from the top and the {rst at the bottom are longer than the two central ones, and that the top bar is considerably longer than either, the purpose of which will be hereafter shown. The post by which the gate is supporter] consists of two sections, C and D, section lC being inserted in the ground in the ordinary way, and section D pivoted to it by the' dowel-pin a, as indicated by the dotted lines in tig. 3. E is the head post of the gate, upon which the free end rests, when closed, in slotted shoulders or stays G, and is prevented froml -being lifted up by the button H being dropped down upon the edge of the bar; as indicated by thedotted lines. It is also held from any lateral displacement by the notches I dropping on the pin' I.

The manner of opening this gate is as follows: The button, on being turned up, as shown in the drawing, the gate is raised and pushed back in the direction indicated by the dotted lines J, iig. l, moving on the roller i K. When it has been pushed back far enough to disengage the upper bar from the head post, it is swung around upon the section of the post D, parallel to the carriageway, as shown in iig. 2. At this point the gate isequally balanced, and requires but little eiort to swing it. By pushing back the gate only far enough to allow thier notch at the'end of the upper bar' to ca'teh on the pin, will give room for the passage of persons between the projecting ends of the bars :v a: and the post E. By pushing it lback a less distance, so that the middle notch will cacth on the pin I', it will still lessen the opening, so as to allow the passage of small animals, and at the same time keep back the larger stock. In either' position the gate is prevented from any lateral displacement, or from being lifted up and opened, by means of the button and notch referred to.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The gate A, as constructed, in combination with the jointed or pivoted post G, as and for the purpose set forth.
